James Baker and the Daddy Bushycons

...should scare the SH*T out of every American who's supported the troops in Iraq. (via Insta)

...The commission’s discussions are said to be focused on an option presented by a panel of experts that the United States concede that the situation in Iraq cannot be stabilized and make plans for a phased withdrawal of U.S. troops.

An alternative proposal, that the United States commit money and troops toward stabilizing Iraq before a withdrawal, appears less likely of adoption, according to sources familiar with the proposals.

John Negroponte, director of national intelligence, is already working closely with Baker on some of the recommendations of his panel.

Negroponte reportedly has come to agree with what is expected to be the most controversial of recommendations from the Baker group: that the United States approach Iran, and, in tandem with Israel, approach Syria, for help with Iraq, according to a source familiar with Negroponte’s thinking. A spokesman for Negroponte did not respond to a request for comment Friday.


If this is a public opinion fishing expedition, the uproar should be ferocious and biblical in response. How DARE they. Shrub and his know-it-all-cheap-war neocons f*cked this up royally from the beginning. They never gave their wonderful idea the commitment of money, planning and support the troops who would pay the price for their arrogance deserved. And now they're looking for a way to slide out of Dodge. So you ask older, slyer escape artists. Remember how they operate?

They cut a fledgling democracy movement off at the knees once before that hadn't cost one American life. F*ckin' Scowcroft was a weasel of epic proportion and Baker his enabler. So if Baker's back in the picture, who's our weasel of the moment already in contact with Iran and/or Syria?

And I didn't vote for them the first time, either.

Amen.

They never gave it a full effort and now they want to back out? What on Earth could they be thinking?

Spineless, just like his daddy.

Iran, and, in tandem with Israel, approach Syria

Oh yeah, I can just see the three of them sitting around a table.

Giving Iran a say in Iraq...it's just brilliant, really.
